anyone who does not realize that, fundamentally, intelligence and genetics are linked, is an idiot. especially if they are a new-atheist type who prided themselves on being "pro-science" since they advocated against creationism. Which was basically a storm in a tea cup btw. I don't know a single christian who denies evolution and believes in creationism. at least on a personal level. the ones I do know about a nieche, weirdo lol cows.
Genetics is not politically correct. quite the opposite, in fact. If intelligence and genetics are not linked, then there is no reason for why humans are more intelligent than dogs. The apologia you will hear at this juncture will become "oh but this is just about averages in different human populations which do not vary significantly enough genetically from one another for IQ to be different between populations". Again...this has been statistically disproven. Another heretic that the wokies tried to burn for pointing this out was Charles Murray, because he had a single chapter pointing this out in his needlessly infamous book "The Bell Curve".
At this point you will hear even more apologia about how "these studies do not control for other factors such as poverty, access to education and cultural differences not being taken into account by standardised IQ testing". Yes, they do, but even then the reason deniers are fighting an uphill battle:
If humans have higher IQs than other animals, they must have evolved to that point through natural selection. The smarter human ancestors out-bred their competition. This means that the selection process must haven been intra-species. Why would the intra-species selection process for intelligence among humans randomly cease? And how is it more probable that a statistical outcome with a single permutation is more probable than all the other statistical outcomes?
In case you don't know about permutations: If you throw a single die, every result has the same chance of occuring => 1/6 = 16.7 %. But if you throw two dice, then the possible results (sum of numbers of two dies) are not equally probable. There is only one event in which you get a sum of 2 => 1,1. But there are two permutations that allow for 3 => 2,1 and 1,2.. 4 has even more permutations: (2,2), (1,3), (3,1).
=> This means that the more permutations lead to the same result, the more probable this result becomes.
There is only one permutation in which all populations across the world have the same average IQ. There are basically infinitely many where they are different. All populations of homo sapiens across the globe having the exact same IQ average would be one hell of a coincidence, especially considering that they have evolved in different environments with different selection pressures. Human populations have differentiated across the globe along any metric you can imaging (height, melanin, eye color, body fat percentage etc.) but IQ is the one that remained constant across geographies?
If you are a grown adult and cannot tell this is simply politically correct cope, you are beyond help...
I know I am ranting, but this shit has annoyed me since forever. I understand why people do not want to admit this fact, but c'mon...you cannot deny reality because it is uncomfortable.
